Important information about import taxes for Customers outside the EU

When products are shipped from the Netherlands to countries outside of the European Union, in some cases, there will be a VAT (Value Added Tax), other taxes, customs duties and fees levied by your destination country. The additional charges for taxes or customs clearance fees are the responsibility of the recipient. If the recipient refuses to pay the duties, HWG has the right to charge the costs to the recipient.

Unfortunately, we cannot estimate what the charges may be since Customs and taxation policies vary widely from country to country. For further details, please contact your destination's customs office or visit their official website. In some cases, customs clearance procedures are required; under these circumstances, delays may occur, which will affect our original estimated delivery time.

Can I track my parcel outside Europe?

If you have chosen one of the Standard shipping options, your order has been shipped with the Dutch Postal Services. From the moment your order leaves our warehouse, the parcel has a Dutch Postal Services tracking number. Upon arrival in the country of delivery, a new tracking number of the local postal network is given to the parcel. A lot of times, these tracking numbers are not linked, and with this, the tracking gets lost. This does not mean your package will not get delivered; it just means that tracking is limited.

If you have chosen the DHL Express Shipping option, visit dhl.com for more information.

My order hasn’t arrived in time and I live outside Europe. When will I receive it?

Outside of Europe, parcels often have to clear local customs to enter the postal network. This can cause a delay of up to three weeks. During the period that your parcel is in the customs department, there are no tracking updates available. Unfortunately, we cannot control or speed up this process. Please go to our order service page if you chose one of the standard shipping options, or dhl.com if you chose DHL Express Shipping.

Why do I have to pay import tax? (outside the EU)

Holland Watch Group resides in The Netherlands. If you live outside of the European Union, we do not charge local taxes such as VAT to your order, but your local customs office has the right to charge import duty, VAT and administration costs. Not every country charges their citizens, and the threshold for charging differs per country. Contact your local Customs office or Tax Authority for more information.
